At Meridian, we focus on developing and owning state-of-the-art specialty veterinary hospitals operated by our client partners. Helping address a critical gap in the market.
In addition to specialty hospitals, we aim to generate income for our investors through the development of animal care facilities, including but not limited to dog daycare, boarding, and kennels.
The veterinary healthcare industry is projected to nearly double by 20321, and we aim to participate in this growth by meeting the rising demand for services provided in specialized hospitals.
Unfortunately, these essential facilities remain rare, leaving many families struggling to find the care their pets need.
That’s where Meridian steps in. We’re addressing this gap by expanding access to specialty veterinary care, helping to ensure that when a pet is in need of specialty care, families can find the help they need.
With two successful funds already behind us, we’re proud to announce the launch of Meridian Veterinary Fund III, LLC—an opportunity to make a meaningful impact while capitalizing on a growing industry.

At our core, we are pet lovers with a passion for creating state-of-the-art specialty veterinary facilities. With extensive experience in commercial real estate, we’ve turned our focus to addressing a critical gap in veterinary care.
Meridian’s journey began when our founder, originally working in commercial real estate focused on human healthcare, encountered a personal challenge. His beloved Rottweiler, Tutt, was diagnosed with cancer, and accessing specialty care required driving for hours.
This firsthand experience revealed the pressing need for more easily accessible specialty pet healthcare services.
Motivated by Tutt’s story, Meridian pivoted its focus to develop specialty veterinary hospitals—ensuring that families and their pets have access to the high-quality care they deserve.
Meridian affiliates currently own approximately 350,000 square feet of specialty veterinary hospital facilities.
Meridian begins development only after securing a triple net, or other lease, with a high-performing specialty veterinary operator seeking expansion, or needed relocation. The operators commit to the project, paying rent, purchasing equipment, and maintaining the facility. This partnership begins with an operator seeking a facility that is supported by the revenues of the practice and the operator’s investment of millions of dollars in specialty equipment tailored to the space. We begin work based on specific demand enabling a seamless and efficient process for both our partners and investors.
At Meridian, we partner with top veterinarians to:
Repurpose and expand existing hospitals.
Acquire facilities needing renovation and/or expansion.
Purchase properties with long-term leases already in place.
Execute ground up development.
Our investment approach ensures that every practice meets these high standards:
A strong team of veterinarians.
Practice operations exceeding specific lease coverage thresholds relative to the lease payment.
Located in or within 20 miles of a top 100 metropolitan area.
Positioned in a market with a substantial population of pet owners lacking local access to specialty care.
At Meridian, we act as orchestrators, first collaborating with veterinary operators that require advanced hospital-level diagnostic and surgical facilities but lack the real estate expertise or the time to develop them. We then, working in tandem with the operator, identify locations where a specialty veterinary hospital will benefit pet families and investors alike.
With signed leases in place, we construct state-of-the-art facilities, while our clients invest millions of dollars in custom-fitted surgical and diagnostic equipment. This creates a mutually beneficial partnership and solidifies a long-term relationship.
In most instances, Meridian’s veterinary operator partners sign Triple Net Leases, a rental agreement where tenants are responsible for operational expenses, including building maintenance, property taxes, and insurance. This structure allows Meridian to focus on collecting rent and passing income on to investors without absorbing the costs or labor related to property upkeep.
